The laser breaks down the pigment which is then disposed of naturally via the immune system over several months. From the point you get a tattoo, your immune system is working to try and remove it. Our laser breaks the ink into smaller particles which in turn accelerates the natural removal through the lymphatic system.
The number of sessions required depends on many factors such as tattoo size, location, ink colors, type of ink used, age of the tattoo, and skin type. It would also depend on whether you are looking for complete removal or fading to prepare for a cover-up. Most clients end up having between 6 and 12 sessions.
We typically leave 6-8 weeks in-between sessions to give the immune system chance to remove the broken ink particles. As a result, most tattoo removals end up taking over a year to complete.
No, Q-Switched lasers are able to remove tattoos by penetrating into the skin and then heating the tattoo ink until it shatters, without damaging or scarring the surrounding skin. We also offer a free patch test where we can assess how your skin reacts to the laser.
Most people say that laser tattoo removal feels like a rubber band snapping against the skin. Others say it feels like splashing bacon grease on the skin. In other words, itβs not that bad. If you could withstand the pain of getting a tattoo, you should have no problem bearing the minor discomfort of tattoo removal. Most people agree that laser tattoo removal hurts less than they expected.
Yes, a tattoo can be fully removed, but the speed depends on many factors, including the size of the tattoo, the color of the ink, and the location on your body. It's important to understand that the removal speed varies a lot for each person as the immune system is responsible for clearing the broken ink particles following the treatment.
Treatment sessions vary in length, depending on the size of the tattoo. For example, a small tattoo only takes a few seconds per treatment session. Even large tattoos that took hours to apply, can be treated in just a few minutes.
We use a Q-Switched ND:YAG which is currently the gold standard for Tattoo Removal, it targets the pigment by emitting energy in nanosecond pulses, which break down the ink particles with minimal impact on the surrounding skin tissue.
Our prices start at Β£35 per session and depend on the size of the tattoo. To request a quote, please send us a picture of the tattoo with your contact details and we will be in touch as soon as possible.
We would need to wait until the tattoo is at least 6 months old in order to start laser treatment, and older tattoos generally see better results.
